It looks like you are getting FASTQ out rather than FASTQ (notice in addition to
missing the qualities, the record starts with ">" rather than "@".
Strange, as you
do seem to be using the right FASTQ format and variant names. You could try
using format="fastq-sanger" and format="fastq-illumina" rather than
setting variant,
to see if that changes anything.
